GET
/v1/twitter/user/media

Returns the tweets on an account's Media tab, only those carrying a photo or video, with media URLs, engagement counts, and creation time. View and bookmark counts are null here.

Use it to pull an account's visual output without the text-only tweets user/tweets includes; the cursor pages deeper into the media grid.

10 credits per call.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

handle*string

Twitter username without the @ symbol

cursor?string

Cursor from the previous response's pagination.next_cursor to fetch the next page

since?string

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept.

until?string

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.

dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.
